Re: Hard drive to connect to Superhub 2
Yes and you need a NAS (Network Attached Storage) of some kind.

There is, it's just covered by a bit of tape.
In fact, on Virgin's own site, they often show the USB port without the tape:

Re: Hard drive to connect to Superhub 2
... but is the non-working USB port 2.0 or 3.0?

And, yes, the USB on the SH2 is non functional, hence the need for a NAS.

Re: Hard drive to connect to Superhub 2
Does that mean you have to buy your own router to use the USB and NAS?

Yes but it is an investment that gets you a wealth of useful features as well.

That's pretty much the definition of any NAS device on the planet.
